    Playing Two Hands

    Actually, playing two hands increases variance, but increases Ev as well, and the net result is benefical (in terms of EV/VAR) In that way, you have to see at which point is convenient to spread to 2 (or more) spots, because the contramesure here is the "card eating". Is a point in...

    Combinatorial Program

    Hi everyone After a long time I could finish a first part of my own combinatorial analyzer. I'm pleased with it, because I could achived the same figures for STAND and DOUBLING EV's from MGP Program. But I'm getting different figures for hitting in soft hands, and the biggest...

    What would happen if one construct a BasicStrategy with this approach ?

    How many hands/hours per session?

    You are playing fewer hands, but those hands are quality hands. While you can do that, I think is the best move. The problem is crowded tables. You wait to the positive shoe and, if the table is crowded you just play a couple of hands before the count drops. Best setting is when you...

    Question about DB Formula.

    Hi everyone. I would like to ask about the first formula of the four new ones that BJA presents on its 3th edittion (pag 136), called Double Barrier formulas. This formula yields the probability of reach a goal before going broke, given a certain time constraint. So, the second term of...
